Pet Sitting Foxcroft Heights

About: I recently graduated with a PhD from George Mason University, so I'm highly organized and detail-oriented. I love animals of all shapes and sizes, and pet sitting provides much-needed joy and balance to my sedentary work at a computer. I work remotely with flexible hours, so I am able to accommodate specific feeding times, frequent check-ins, and potty breaks. As a proud cat owner, I'm very observant and knowledgeable about cat behavior and body language. I provide calm and gentle care that helps even the most timid cats feel secure and safe in their own space. I am skilled with trimming nails and brushing, and am happy to provide those services upon request, depending on your cat's tolerance. I also have several years of experience managing overnight house sits and walking dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including Greyhounds, Pit Bulls, and Australian Shepherds. I am able to care for and manage a wide range of dog energy levels. Whether your dog is high-energy and needs a brisk walk or is an elderly senior who requires a slow, gentle pace and careful supervision, I’ve got them covered. I'm currently working a fully remote, part-time job so my schedule is very flexible. I am able to offer drop-in visits any day of the week, any time of day between 8am and 8pm. I offer overnight visits for up to 3 consecutive nights. Home visits and overnights: I double-check that all doors are securely locked after every visit, bring in mail, and ensure your home was well-maintained during my stay. Leash Safety & Walking: On walks, safety is non-negotiable. I use a secure grip, stay highly observant of our surroundings, and never allow interaction with unknown dogs or people on the street unless you give me permission. Whether handling a strong, high-energy breed, or a sensitive, anxious dog, I maintain total focus and connection with your dog. Cat Care: For drop-ins, I make sure to provide for all your cat's needs including changing water, feeding, scooping litter, and playtime, grooming, and cuddles as requested. I also take time to read your cat's body language—if they want play and interaction, I'm fully present; if they prefer a calm presence from a distance, I respect their boundaries. I'm experienced with brushing and cleaning ears, so I am happy to offer that upon request, depending on your cat's temperament and needs. Updates: You will receive detailed updates and photos during every visit and at regular intervals during overnight stays.

About: I have a special fondness for all types of animals. I have watched big dogs to little dogs and all types of cats. While watching your animal, I would make sure to treat them with the love and the care they so deserve. Your dog loves to go on walks, so do I! Your cat likes to sit and cuddle, so do I! I can promise that your animal will be safe and loved under my care. I personally was raised with 2 amazing dogs, a crazy turtle, and a fun-loving hedgehog in my household. I now currently live with a cat who loves to play so very much. I have a wide range of experience and would use my personal knowledge to take care of your pet in the best way possible. I work full time Monday through Friday. I am available all weekends and have lots more flexibility on Thursdays and Fridays as I telework those days. My times of availability Monday through Wednesday are 3:30-11:30 My times of availability Thursday through Friday 2:00-11:30 I also am available to house sit starting Wednesday afternoons as I telework Thursday and Friday and can work from any location. My weekends are 100% open and available for whatever time you need me. I will treat your animal with love and the upmost respect. Whatever rules and/or guidelines you set for me regarding your pet and household, I will follow to the very minute detail. I am all about treating those with respect and kindness and will follow those principles with your pet and with your home. If you leave your animal in my care, I can give you peace of mind that they will be adored and safe.

“Ciara was great! We were gone for a couple of days and needed someone to check in on our cats. She was communicative and the cats were well taken care of while we were gone.”

Rachel D.

“Gabriela took wonderful care of my 2 kitties while I was on vacation. She is responsive, punctual, attentive to needs and solution driven. We encountered a couple issues with the key fob dispenser not working properly and with the cats knocking over a large plant. She notified me and resolved both issues quickly which was a huge relief. Nobody wants to be dealing with or stressed out with issues from a distance and during a short time-off. I trust her with my cats and will definitely be booking her again. Highly recommend her services.”
